Hello pluggers,
I've had mixed success with videos and photorec in the past. What other
tools have you used with success to recover videos from a phone before? I
have a 32gb vfat formatted microsd card in one my phones. I recorded a
video yesterday, and tried to upload it to youtube just to keep it in a
safe place. A little bit of disaster struck, as the video never completely
uploaded, and when I went to try again, the last two video files I recorded
are corrupt and empty. :(
I'm capturing a dd snapshot to an alternate media source now in preparation
to use recovery tools.

Any tips and extra help welcome.
